Youth Code – In Search Of Tomorrow
American EBM virtuosos Youth Code have returned with their first musical output in four years: Yours, With Malice, incoming May 16, 2025 on Sumerian Records.
Nothing hits harder than life, as they say, and the series of bloody-knuckle bouts to get to the release of Yours, With Malice led to some deep introspection by Youth Code regarding who they are, what they’ve accomplished and their next steps. These last few years of self-reflection found Youth Code stewing in a simmering cauldron of bile and vitriol as Yours, With Malice is clearly their most intricate, well-crafted and blood-thirsty release to date. This maliciousness meets melodicism on their latest single, “In Search of Tomorrow,” which arrives today alongside a new visualizer.
Yours, With Malice roars and tramples out of the gate like an armor-plated, weaponized bulldozer, pulverizing skulls into fine powder, while bubbling sub-bass, bone-snapping snare hits, sizzling hi-hats and rib-rattling kicks bounce off of the floors like spent shells. Sanford Parker’s powerful mix gives the effort a strong shove in the right direction– the subtle but careful ear for melody that connects all the songs, grounds them, and keeps the listener chained to the “repeat” button.
